The sequel to an early 2000s hit movie tops the DVD releases for the week of Nov. 11.
“Freakier Friday”: This follow-up to the 2003 body swap comedy sees Anna (Lindsay Lohan) all grown up and contending with a teenager of her own while she gets ready to marry Eric (Manny Jacinto), while managing his daughter, and her overbearing mom (Jamie Lee Curtis).
“It’s easy to question the necessity of reboots and legasequels in this IP-obsessed movie landscape,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. “But ‘Freakier Friday’ feels genuinely restorative, not just for Lohan’s reputation, but for the inner child who once loved movies like this, delighting in silly tropes like food fights, hunks tossing their hair in slow-motion and makeover montages.”
